Has anyone tried StopTech's own race pads?

Has anyone tried these?
SR30 Compound
Medium to low friction levels with linear torque curve with rising temperature
Extreme high temperature fade resistance
Excellent modulation and release characteristics
Repeatable performance
For Touring Car rear applications and others requiring lower torque
SR32 Compound
Similar friction levels to the SR34 Compound
Linear torque curve with temperature rise with excellent release characteristics
Superb abraded disc wear
Maximum high-temperature stability
For medium to high horsepower applications that require higher friction levels
SR33 Compound
Slight reduction in torque compared to SR34 Compound
Excellent pedal modulation for applications requiring a medium friction level
Flat torque curve with temperature rise
Extreme fade resistance
Great for rear applications that require less friction but same level of control as SR34 Compound
SR34 Compound
Superior pedal feel and modulation characteristics
Formulated for high initial bite
Slight torque rise with temperature
Extremely low pad and abraded disc wear
All purpose pad for high grip, high power applications

I have NOT tried them, I use Street Performance pads for the street, but use Cobalt Friction for the track. I really like the Street Performance pads, so I'm interested to see if some of the Forum members have feedback on the Stoptech RACE pads.....

This is exactly why I am interested as well. StopTech makes good products for an affordable price, and I really wonder how the race compounds work for our cars. When I researched, I saw positive feedback in other cars' forums like M3, etc., but did not see much for our cars. Perhaps the reason is M3 drivers apparently end up getting BBK for their cars and StopTech has these pads available for its BBKs..

We have tried them and use them in certain applications on this year's race car.
We do have far more track data on the Cobalts, which is still my preferred pad. The new pads from StopTech are a nice piece and have shown decent wear and bite. I need to go look and see if we had the 33's or 34's.
